RGD Curation Notes
Note Type Note Reference
strain_characteristics These are tan-hooded, pink-eyed animals. 632096
strain_life_disease They have inherited retinal dystrophy as a result of genetic defect in retinal pigment epithelium. 632096
strain_life_disease Mutation in the Mertk is responsible for retinal degeneration where shed outer segments are phagocytosed by the retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) and metabolites recycled to the photoreceptors.  
strain_other When reared in the dark these have a greater accumulation of rhodopsin in the eyes. 632096
